‘How I Met Your Mother’: Will Robin and Ted Have a Romance Do-Over?

“How I Met Your Mother” fans saw it coming. Robin and Ted are one step away from hooking up again, but how did that happen? And what about Kevin? Wasn’t that true romance? Kevin loved Robin and she loved him, but that fairy tale was destined to end sooner or later. It should have blossomed when they went away to Vermont for a romantic couples weekend with Marshall and Lily. Kevin put forth his best effort. He went down on one knee and popped the question, and it should have led to a ” How I Met Your Mother ” wedding, but love just wasn’t enough.

Robin wanted to say yes, but first she had to think about it, which actually meant she had to talk it over with Marshall and Lily. Robin told them she couldn’t have and didn’t want children and she had to tell Kevin as well. She knew Kevin wanted children in his future, still he insisted it didn’t matter and reassured her by repeating his proposal. He finally un-proposed after Robin gave him enough reasons to change his mind.

So Kevin’s gone but how did Ted slip back into the picture?

A complicated turn of events brought Robin and Ted together. Ted was alone because he and Barney couldn’t find romance, not even on the drunk train. That’s the last commuter train from the Manhattan to Long Island where all the singles are wild and drunk and hungry for love. Robin was alone because she and Kevin called off the romance for good. Since she and Ted made the bad decision to become roommates again, they were both alone together.

Will Ted and Robin get back together?

That’s not likely. During the last few minutes of the episode “The Drunk Train,” Ted told Robin he still loved her, but that doesn’t mean they’ll get back together. She’d already been spreading herself a little thin. She cheated with Barney while she was in an exclusive relationship with Kevin. She even had a pregnancy scare. Robin loved Kevin, but they broke up anyway. She’s not ready for a romance do-over with Ted, not even a quick roll in the hay. He’ll just have to find love someplace else.
